Questions and Answers, Part One...

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS...

1.  Q:  Press-Register, Sep 25, 2010,  Dan Murtaugh:

"Now he (Kenneth Feinberg) will be clustering claims by industry and applying the same formula to each claim."

     A:  All "casinos" claims were clustered under "denied".  Statistically proven by gccf published statistics, and by conversation with both local and Ohio gccf representatives.

2.  Q:  ProPublica Oct 14, 2010, Sasha Chavkin:

"Feinberg said that although the employees he is putting in the field in the coming weeks will not have the authority to make payments, they will be able to offer answers to claimants on the spot."  “They will have direct access to the particular claim where they will be able to get particular information right then and there to respond to inquiries,” Feinberg said.

     A:  No relevant information regarding time frame or probability of payment is available at all from either Ohio 800 number or local gccf offices.  Of course, there is no access at all to the adjuster/processors.
